I was very excited when Kiran Raj told me about Manasaare.It comes from the same team of Mungaru Male.Every fan of Shreya who follows her regional songs also,must be knowing that Mungaru Male had some unforgettable songs of Shreya.It had Araluthiru and Ivanu Geleyanalla by Shreya.Even today if you hear Araluthiru,it sounds fresh.Its one of the classic compositions of Mano Murthy and I am happy that Mano chose Shreya to render Araluthiru as she could only do justice with the emotions of the song.On the other hand,Ivanu Geleyanalla was a sad song(I guess) which is again one of the best Kannada songs of Shreya.Its no surprise if anyone waits for the same team to come back with the magical songs.As I told,Manasaare comes from the same team,so its obvious that Mano Murthy composes the music and Shreya sings in it.Again,Shreya has two songs in the movie,one being a solo and other one a duet with KK.Lets see if the team again gives us some memorable songs.

First track in the album is titled “Na Naguve Modalene” sung by Shreya.It runs for 4 minutes 33 seconds.The song starts with a romantic harmony played on Mano’s favourite instrument “saxophone”.I would have taken this song as a sad song if Kiran Raj had not told me that it’s a romantic one.Romantic song with sad tune???interesting.The song is mesmerizing,beautifully sung by Shreya and beautifully composed by Mano Murthy.Saxophone is a trademark in Mano’s songs which suits perfectly in his compositions.I have no words to describe this song.The first word came to my mind after hearing this song was “Araluthiru – 2nd.I may sound funny but that’s what I think.Shreya has put so much emotions in the song even though she does’nt understand the language.Note the way Shreya smiles between 1:30 – 1:31.

Next track in the album is “Kanna Haniyondige” sung by Shreya and KK.Shreya gets to sing both the mukhda and the antara/stanza.Last stanza is sung by Shreya.I named previous one as “Araluthiru – 2nd”,so will u be surprised if I name this one as "Ivanu Geleya Nalla – 2nd”?You wont be,after hearing the track.The song runs for 5 minutes 10 seconds.The song starts with a mesmerizing tune played on Gitar.Its a sad song(hope I am correct this time).Shreya has put in perfecr feel to the song.Anataras are made beautifully by Mano Murthy.Tabla sounds perfect in the stanzas.Note the way Shreya sings Beedade(did I spell it correctly?) at 2:10 – 2:12.Last stanza is sung by KK.He is good in the song but not great.It could have been better if the compose had chose Rajesh Krishnan or Karthik.

Must hear songs!!!!..Dnt miss !!!

Ps:Music of Kannada Movie Januma Janumadallu is out.Music is again composed by Mano Murthy and Shreya has one solo and one duet.Will post tomorrow about it !

Even before I could laugh…Somehow…a new smile has started shining…Even before I could speak…My heart has started spluttering inside…Even before I could walk…This road is dragging me towards you…Even before I could know…The lamp has started burning inside me…Please whisper once…Who are you to me? (Aap hamaare hai kaun?)

Without telling me…my eyes have started searching for you…I have had enough of this sweet pain…what’s up next?My heart has learnt to dance…whenever it sees you…I was staying (happily) with myself…why did you become visible to me?

Even before I could laugh…Somehow…a new smile has started shining…

Did my heart take your name…while murmuring in sleep?Why am I getting this doubt on myself?Why do you become my Lover…only in dreams?You please tell me once that…this is Love…

Hope everyone likes it...I find the lyrics in Kannada a lot more appealing in fact...For a change...Yogaraj Bhat, the Director of the movie...has written the lyrics as against the regular Jayanth Kaikini...
